Gloria Pitzer's Hooters-Style Buffalo Wings
Ready In: 2 hrs
Serves: 4
Yields: 20 wing segments
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 chicken wings, cut each into drumettes and wingettes (equals 20 segments)
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 3⁄4 cup hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce or Rizzotti's Gourmet Wing Sauce)
Directions
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and peppers. Coat chicken entirely in the flour mixture; refrigerate coated wings for 1 hour; coat chicken again with remaining flour mixture.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and hot sauce just until butter melts; turn heat to low and keep warm on stove top.
- Deep-fry chicken, 8 - 10 pieces at a time, in 375º vegetable oil for 13 minutes, turning once or twice. Drain chicken on a wire cooling rack for 30 seconds, then immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture and remove with a slotted spoon.
- Repeat with remaining chicken.
